Bhutan's first AI startup is seven college kids in a dorm


NoMindBhutan services prominent clients like the Bhutan National Bank and Drukair - Royal Bhutan Airlines.

When college students Ugyen Dendup and Jamphel Yigzin Samdrup launched their startup last year, they had yet to learn that they would spend most of their time servicing some of the most prestigious institutions in Bhutan. NoMindBhutan is “very highly motivated so they are keen to learn … to make quick changes,” Pallavi Sharma, NDI’s marketing and communications lead, told Rest of World. In addition to its inadequate physical infrastructure, Bhutan’s digital ecosystem is closed off, making it harder to introduce even existing AI products to the wider public — an issue NoMindBhutan is also grappling with.
